Parrott’s Sports Grille

Located in Firestone, on the east side of I-25 across from Longmont, Parrott’s Sports Grill prides itself on its slow-cooked chicken wings, which it proclaims are the best this side of the Mississippi River. Parrott’s also serves Southern-style barbecue (pulled pork, smoked chicken, eighteen-hour brisket, ribs), prime rib, appetizers and burgers. There are plenty of […]

Pete’s Satire Lounge

Pete Contos, the late Greek restaurant magnate, purchased the Satire over sixty years ago. From its classic neon sign to its legendary history (Bob Dylan and the Smothers Brothers both performed here), this spot is old Denver through and through, even following a recent update and remodel headed up by Contos’s grandson Alex Barakos. The […]

Piper Inn

The Piper Inn looks like a biker bar – and it is. But it’s also an everyone-else bar. You can find your mom, your co-worker and dudes who ride Harleys all enjoying cold brews and house specialties like Chinese-style wings, burgers and carne asada fries. The bar, which opened in 1968, was named for the […]

Poka Lola Social Club

Poka Lola isn’t a new Hawaiian restaurant or a cannabis strain; it’s the retro bar located inside the Maven, the Dairy Block’s hotel. The ritzy watering hole balances art deco elegance with Midwestern soda-shop comfort. Guests will feel pampered with cocktail classics and house creations, along with bar fare that’s surprisingly down-to-earth for the upscale […]

Pony Up

Pony Up’s incredible staff and surprising cocktails make it well worth a trip to LoDo. The neon signs, French bulldog art and references to The Outsiders only add to the ambiance at this bar, which is particularly popular with those in the hospitality industry, thanks to its late-night food menu that includes stellar French dips. […]

The Pub on Pearl

A sports bar where local teams and the occasional Hawkeye game (both owners hail from Iowa) dominate the TV screens, Pub on Pearl sits like an oasis between the I-25 corridor and Wash Park. Despite being butted up against the highway, the bar has a pleasant wrap-around patio where both people and dogs are welcome, […]

The Rally Bar

Stepping into this stylish bar across from Coors Field in McGregor Square is like walking into a modern work of art. It’s full of angles, shapes, texture and color – even the taps are built into a long, shiny pipe rather than the run-of-the-mill wall. Cocktails, like the signature purple-hued Rally Up, with butterfly pea […]

Rayback Collective

In the simplest terms, Boulder’s Rayback Collective, which opened in summer of 2016, is a food-truck park, with trucks serving up everything from barbecue to pretzels to Asian-fusion skewers to farmhouse-inspired eats rotating through its huge yard. But dig a bit deeper and you’ll find plenty of hidden gems at this community gathering space. A […]

Recess Beer Garden

Shady trees, lots of outdoor seating and nearly every dog in the neighborhood: That’s what you’ll find at Recess Beer Garden, one of the city’s top destinations for day drinking. As the name implies, the focus is on the Recess beer selection, but you can opt for cocktails and wine, too. The food menu is […]

Red Rocks Beer Garden

Red Rocks Beer Garden opened in Morrison in May 2018, filling a niche for mountain tourists and bikers enjoying Colorado weekends, as well as music fans coming and going from nearby Red Rocks Amphitheatre. While there are plenty of bar stools and patio seats along the town’s main drag, most of those don’t come with […]

The Roadhouse Bar & Grill

While the Roadhouse gets its share of bikers, it’s one of the most friendly joints in the neighborhood. It’s particularly fun on the weekends with a lively group of regulars taking part in karaoke or listening to live music.

Rockabillies

With checkered floors, an Elvis jukebox, a wall-sized Johnny Cash mural, and framed black-and-white photos of Hank Williams, Elvis and ’50s hot rods hanging on the other walls, Rock-A-Billies is obviously geared toward folks who love rockabilly culture. Housed in the former Cucina Roma Roma restaurant spot in a strip mall at 64th Avenue and […]

The Rusty Bucket Bar & Grill

With a whole wall dedicated solely to Steelers memorabilia, including a Terrible Towel, it’s fairly obvious that the Rusty Bucket a Steelers bar. While there’s no mistaking that you’ve entered Steeler country when you step inside this neighborhood sports joint it’s a also decent place to check out any game as the place has fifteen […]

The Sink

After 100 years and multiple changes, the Sink remains one of Boulder’s most quirky and popular taverns, as much for the good deals on booze as for the famous Sink Burger (which first appeared on the menu in the 1950s) and “ugly crust” pizza. History is scrawled across the ceiling and walls in the form […]

Society Sports & Spirits

In 2013, the owners of Stoney’s Bar & Grill moved into the space at 1434 Blake Street, which has been many, many things over the years — from City Spirit to the more recent Full Steam Tavern — and named it Stoney’s Full Steam Tavern. But a year later, Wil Evans, who used to work […]

Soiled Dove Underground

A huge improvement over its previous location in LoDo, the newer, classier Soiled Dove in Lowry, which opened in 2006, was built from the ground up, with music as its focal point. The crescent-shaped seating area was designed so that anyone seated in the 300-person-plus room would have a good line of sight, with each […]
